Hi,
	kldload u3g
	kldload umodem

plug in the modem

Show the output of

usbconfig

then

 sysctl -a dev.u3g
and
ls -l /dev/cuaU*

and
dmesg

On some 3g sticks, you have to send a command to put them in "modem
mode". Typically this is done by 'ejecting the cd'

camcontrol eject pass0

But the driver knows of most of the variants out there and does that
automatically for you.
